New students gain information at Up-Close to prepare for room selection in April

The Department of Residence staff will provide exceptional support for admitted students and guests attending Up-Close February 14 and 28.

Hall Tours

Tours in every residence hall give new students a chance to finalize their room assignment priorities. “This is the only time during the year that we ask current students to open their on-campus homes so admitted students can see the creative and resourceful decorating that happens at UNI,” said Pat Beck, Assistant Director of Residence/Marketing. “Guests can ask students about their experiences at UNI and get a glimpse of daily life as a student here.”
